Eric is over at the Alika house today sorting and packing more stuff. He has the kids with him, so I have some quiet time at home - always a treat! I am sitting here at my computer with Cola next to me since we brought her home to our house last night! The transition has been pretty smooth so far (except for the transport which we had to pull off without a cat carrier! She meowed the whole way...this really weird foreign meow, like she was singing Chinese opera).
Maka doesn't seem too perturbed by the appearance of a new feline resident and Cola is starting to look pretty comfortable in our house. She even used the litter box this morning and got to explore outside with the kids for a bit. Last night she lay in bed with us to read books. She has completely adopted Indy and likes to cuddle with her like she used to with Peggy. Indy is in seventh heaven!
Thursday's "Tuesdays with Morrie" play was wonderful and the "Thursday with Peggy" panel discussion after was a lot of fun. It was great to see some Legs, some HCA gang, Vi Jones Medusky and family, the MDA ohana...and the pre-show food catered by Kat Hurtubise's company was ono!
You should ALL go and see the play! I know a lot of people hesitate to see it for fear that it will be depressing, but it is filled with humor - I promise you will be laughing more than crying! The cast, crew, and director did such an amazing job with an amazing story - it really is a must-see!
And it will remind you so much of our days with Peggy...it was so nice to sit there and remember her...I love remembering it all and reliving it like that...it brings me such joy. The play is about living each day to the fullest, slowing down enough to enjoy it...and who can't use a reminder about that!
Now, here are our plans for the upcoming week. Karen has asked me to let you all know that on Wednesday (beginning at 10am), she'd like all of you to come to the Alika house for a last day of final packing, transporting to the gallery, and clearing out the house for the Seglers. Our goal is to be completely out of the house by the end of next week. There is not much left, but there is some stuff...(Side note: if you are a print titler, Karen said she'd like you to be at the gallery!!! She has lots of titling that needs to get done!!!)
This week we will simultaneously be getting the gallery in order for First Friday. Yesterday, Karen and Eric hung the whole Boo and Gecko series - it looks so great! It is really starting to come together! On Monday we have our window sign being installed! Fun!
OK, we'll see you guys this week! And please mark your calendars...First Friday is April 3 and we will be having a private reception and blessing from 3pm to 5pm just for the Peg's Legs - it will be right before the First Friday Grand Opening that begins at 5pm. We hope you can all join us - more info coming soon!!! Have a great weekend!
